- WRINGER-HOLDING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,447, datedAugust-2, 1898. Application fil d April 5, 1897. Serial No. 630,794. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN FARRELL and PATRICK J. HOAR, citizens of theUnited States of America, residing at Freedom, in the'county of Beaverand State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Wringer-I'Iolding Devices, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in wringer attachments, and has for its object to provide a device for securelyfastening the wringerto the tub or other vessel in such a manner as tohold the same perfectly rigid, which is not accomplished by the'ordinary wringer-standards fastening over the rim of the tub; and tothis end the invention consists in the novel construction, combination,and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically described,and particularly pointed out in the claim.

The invention further aims to provide a wringer attachment or holderthat may be readily adjusted to conform to different-sized tubs or othervessels on which it may be desired to use the same, and in describingthe invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification, and wherein like letters ofreference indicate similar parts. throughout the several Views, in whichFigure 1 is afront elevation of the attachment or holder, showing thesame in position, the tub and wringer being shown in dotted lines. Fig.2 is a perspective View of the holder. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of theholder and tub, taken on the line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a side viewof a portion of the holder, showing the bevel of the connecting. plate.Fig. 5 is a side view of a portion of one of the wringer-standards,showing the fastening-block employed.

Referring now to the drawings by reference-letters, a represents therod, which is provided with a screw-threaded upper portion I), said rodbeing bent at its lower end and formed into a hook c, which engages overthe lower edge or' rim'of the tub cl. The

screw-threaded portion 1) of this rod engages through a connecting-platee, from which diverge the upwardly and outwardly extending arms f,provided with eyes 9 in their upper ends to receive the fastening-boltsh, which engage through the standards 7c of the wringer. These bolts Italso carry fasteningblocks l, having an inclined slot m and operatingfin ger-piece at, said blocks being adapted to engage upon the outerside face of the tub-rim and lock the wringer-standards thereto. The roda is secured in the connectingplate, having an inclined upper face, asis shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the holder will project slightly awayfrom the tub-rim and permit the winged nut to lie perfectly flat uponthe connecting-plate.

It will be observed that by reason of the slot m in the fastening-blocksextending toward diametrically opposite corners in said blocks each willfirmly engage the outer face of the tub-rim as the block is forced downwardly and will be released to permit the removal of the wringer as theblock is lifted, the hook 0 being placed over the lower rim of the tubby lengthening the rod to through the means afforded by the winged nut0. By this attachment the wringer will be securely fastened to the tubor other vessel and prevented from shifting, as is the case where thestandards are fastened to the upper portion of the tub-rim alone, and bytightening or loosening the winged nut 0 the device may be adplate,having upwardly and outwardly extending arms, adapted to receive boltsfor fastening to the wringei standards, a fastening-block 'on said boltsto engage the outer face of the tub-rim, and a winged nut on said rod totighten or loosen the hook on the lower end of the rod, substantially asshown and described.

In testimony whereof we affix our. signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
